7 Tips to Finding College Scholarships

1Guidance Counselor - Your first stop in looking for college scholarships should be your High School's Guidance Counselor. They have access to a lot of scholarship information, especially for local schools.

2 Your Local Library - Most libraries have several college scholarship guides. Some can be checked out and some are in the Reference section.

3 Internet Search - The internet is great because it can help you narrow down the large number of available scholarships. Start by searching "postmarked by May 1, 2009" +scholarship (or whatever date you wish). This is the date that applications must be submitted.

4 Fastweb.com - This website claims to be the most complete source of local, national, and college-specific scholarships on the net. It probably is, as it lists thousands of scholarships. Fastweb allows you to identify favorites to work on, and it has direct links to the scholarship sites. It also lists scholarships by closing date. When you sign up, you can get email updates when new scholarshoips become available. A good resource. And it's free.

5 Amazon.com - Search "scholarships" under the Books section and you will get a long list of scholarship guides.

6 Clubs, Groups, Churches - Local businesses, groups or clubs often give college scholarship money to local students.

7 Latino Lubbock Magazine -

Monthly we place scholarship info in the Education & Scholarship Update.

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI FAMILY: Raiders Rojos, a Texas Tech Alumni Association Network, recognized the Valenciano/Montano/Castillo family for this year's Distinguished Alumni Family Award. The Award requires at least two generations of Texas Tech graduates. They had three generations. Congratulations from Latino Lubbock Magazine!

It’s been almost one year since I started my program, and I am surprisingly still growing in different ways. Although it is difficult studying and living in a downtown city apartment with zero sunlight, I learned to harness my morning energy. My most productive days begin with a morning workout and arriving at the hospital before 9 am. While analyzing data for my research project, I set a timer on my phone for about 1 hour and immerse myself in work. The alarm rings, I get up, walk around, and grab a coffee to keep me going. My mentor taught me the art of “project management.” I lead two projects and collaborate with multiple groups on two other projects, I even virtually meet with a group from the University of Washington! I’m busier than ever, especially since medical school applications opened and I’m writing outlines for essays almost every night! However, amidst strict deadlines and analyzing research data, reminding myself that I have just one more year left motivates me to continue the “daily grind”—fun fact, there is an actual coffee shop in Baltimore called The Daily Grind. Taking a step back each day to remind myself how far I’ve come and how far I plan to go gives me the strength I need to persevere through the setbacks— working faithfully one day at a time!
